LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 29, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,828 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 217. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 790 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 799 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Meadow Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave (109 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. Victoria Park Ave between Bracken Ave and Lane S of Kingston and W of Victoria Park measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (365 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 32,965 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Blantyre Ave (northbound), 287 Blantyre Avenue · 32,965 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
